Super Bowl XLV: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Green Bay Packers

This is it, my friends. Super Bowl XLV is here and it is quite a match-up!

In one corner, we have a team who dominated the 60's; in the other, a team who dominated the 70's. The Packers have won 12 NFL Championships, the most
in the league. The Steelers have won six Super Bowls, also the most in the league. Both teams have made a combined 11 Super Bowl appearances prior to
this season and have won a combined nine of them.

But probably most important of all, we have a match-up of the two teams with the greatest and most dedicated fans in the league. That is why, in
making this thread, I fully expect an onslaught of both my Packer brethren, as well as those fans of that other team who have been temporarily put on
my own personal terrorist watch list, in the next 11 days before the game and the months long depression of one team's fan base in the aftermath of
the game.

Where are you at, Packer fans? How about you, Steeler fans? Come on in and talk some trash. There's plenty to go around. Regardless of the outcome, it
should be one hell of a game... but you Steelers are still going to lose.

well i didnt know both teams have been to the superbowl 5 in a half times. or the other stuff...cause im a fan of neither. but would honestly want to
see the packers win cause the COLTS should be there instead of the steelers (or steal-hers if you roethlisberger). and the depression after losing a
superbowl....never...ever...goes away...but i am with you, packers should win, im not sure if rodgers is healthy yet, but im sure he will be by the
time the bowl comes. o yeah, before i forget...GO COLTS!!!

If only that were true! After watching 4 consecutive Superbowl defeats, I lost faith. My mother has a Buffalo Bills shrine with signed
jerseys/footballs, etc that is quite impressive and probably worth some coin.

Maybe they will rise again??

The Steelers have been seven times and the Packers have been four times, not including this year's appearance.

Nobody is healthy this time of year. Everybody out on that field will be sore. They've all been in practice and getting hit for more than six months
straight now. The contact takes a toll. But having said that, I have absolutely no doubt that Rodgers will play. Short of a concussion or his leg
falling off, I can't see any scenario where he would not play. This isn't Jay Cutler we're talking about.

GO PACKERS!!! Ben RAPElisberger needs to lose!! He should have been banned from the NFL after the 10th accusation of sexual assault, but no, the
11th time we will suspend him for 4 games!!! COME ON..... I hope the Packers absolutely destroy the Steal ers, and rip Ben's *** wide open like he
does to his victims!!!

I can't wait for this game! The last time the Packers were in the Super Bowl, I was only 10 years old. I was a "fan" and watched the games because
it was my dad's favorite team at the time but I didn't really know what was going on. So this is the first time I've seen them in the Super Bowl in
the 10 years since I started to obsessively follow them.

And actually, besides the Astros making it to the World Series in 2005, this is the first time I have ever seen my favorite team in any professional
sport make it to the championship round since I coherently began following sports. It's been quite a sad history with my teams.

What happened, guys? I know you're out there. You aren't sticking up for your team here. You're not representing. You're not holding to your
reputation of being the second best fans in this Super Bowl match-up...
